I don't know how this passed us by, but Amazon has this listed for release on September 22.

His looks were devastating. His charm was legendary. His legacy is astonishing. Paul Newman – film's most enduring superstar – is a giant of the silver screen who not only quickly attained icon status, but continued to deliver a string of powerhouse performances throughout his remarkable career. Gathered here for the first time are 13 of his best films, accompanied by a captivating coffee table book that traces the story of Newman's ascent in Hollywood. Including a stunning array of photos, some of which have never been seen before, this definitive collection is a timeless addition to any library.

The set is basically a repackaging of 13 films already out on DVD (however, I don't know for sure if there are new special features for this release - most likely not). The only noticable new feature is a coffee table book on Newman included with the collection. But still a great addition to any film collection or those looking to fill holes in their Newman collection.

Only reason to pick it up would be if Fox's Exodus was an anamorphic transfer (Which it surely won't be, it'll just be a repackaging of the OOP MGM disc)

I'd consider if The Hustler were a progressive transfer, unlike that mess of a Special Edition DVD released a few years back...

Just buy the previous special edition on Half or Amazon Marketplace. I got a sealed copy for like four dollars

I somehow missed that edition not being progressive. Looked great to me, but I'm not very astute about picking up problems like that.
